BIBLE TEXT: 1 Samuel 16:14-18
[14]But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
[15]And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
[16]Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
[17]And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
[18]Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
